DescriptionEach SMTA Certification program is a three-day workshop consisting of refresher topics in the SMT processes or systems. This will include both open and closed book examinations. The workshop, as well as the exam, assumes that the participant has at least one year of SMT experience and has an educational background equivalent to two years or more of college in a technical discipline.

This is not an entry level program. Basic algebra and geometry will be used in the workshop and examination. The examination is "competitive" in that it requires written answers and some calculations. The intent of this procedure is to enable the students to establish competitive credentials as "Certified" by the SMTA in SMT Assembly Processes or SMT Systems.
